It has been a minute since I posted and thought I would give an update to my season so far.
My goals for this season are:
250+ game
600 series***DONE***/700 series (606 10/13/14)
clean game***DONE***/clean series (4 clean games this season so far)
175+ average (currently a 182 average as sub on Monday nights but I want to get this one on my normal Sunday night league)
My normal every week league is a Sunday Mixed where I had a good start with a 174 average but fell to 160 over the next couple of weeks then started climbing again to 166 so it is moving in the right direction again. I also Sub in a Monday night mixed league just about every week for one team or another where I started with a 172 average and dropped to 166 but thanks to a good 2 weeks of bowling it is now 182 going up 12 pins last week and 9 this week where I bowled my first 600 series (606) last night. I also sub in a small Friday night mixed league on occasion where I have a 172 average. So far it has been a very good start to my season.
After a solid opening to my season I did struggle for a couple of weeks where I would have one good game (180-220), one average game (160-179), and one game completely in the garbage (119-139). Took going back to my basics and adjusting my starting hand and finger position a bit to dial myself back in but I am feeling good after this last weeks performance with 2 solid sets 553 series Sunday night followed by my 606 Monday night.
Also I started the ball in motion to become a youth volunteer since I am at the alley a lot and my son bowls in the youth league. I was worried that my hearing loss would prevent me from being able to successfully perform the needed duties as a volunteer but after talking with the organizers they assured me I could do it if they placed me with the teens since they don't need much in the way of supervision like the younger kids do.
